A double shooting Tuesday afternoon at a northeast Atlanta apartment complex left one person dead and another injured, police said.

Officers arrived at the 400 block of Central Park Place around 4:45 p.m. regarding a person shot, police confirmed. Malik Campbell, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene and the other victim was injured but stable when taken to the hospital, police said in a news release.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a verbal argument inside an apartment escalated to gunfire, police said. The suspect fled the scene before authorities arrived.

Investigators are working to determine the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
